How #Trump quietly made the decision to bomb #Iran rnz.co.nz/news/world/564871/ho…


Sydney Rd Accessible Tram Stops campaign is getting ready for another rally on the 28th June 2025.

The Victorian Government is in breach of the commonwealth Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport, which required all states and territories to make their public transport infrastructure fully accessible by the end of 2022.

They are delaying on this for no reason. They've had 13yrs notice.

"An Allan government spokesperson said the Labor government had upgraded 98 tram stops since coming to power a decade ago, and delivered 50 accessible E-Class trams."

That's less than 10% of the tram stops that needed upgrading in that decade.

"A 2020 Victorian Auditor-General’s Office report found the Transport Department had estimated the cost of upgrading all tram stops in the network to level-access would cost at least $2 billion."

That's an absolute bargain.
Clearly it's not a cost problem, but a problem of political will. Shameful.

They know installing accessible trams stops requires taking some space away from cars so they don't want to do it.

in reply to Jesse

After missing the 2022 deadline to make all tram stops accessible the Victorian government has set a 2032 deadline.

But that requires them to upgrade 166 tram stops every year for the next 7 yrs. A 16x increase in the current rate.

That means upgrading more tram stops every year than they have over the entire last decade.

The Labor government has upgraded 98 tram stops in the last decade but has slowed to only doing 18 in the last 5yrs.

Israel, Iran, Gaza: EU-Außenminister tagen zur Lage im Nahen Osten

Der US-Angriff auf die Atomanlagen im Iran dürfte auch das heutige Treffen der EU-Außenminister bestimmen. Doch die Einflussmöglichkeiten der EU in der Region sind begrenzt. Von Jakob Mayr.

Another dive at Folly Cove a few weeks back. The sand lance were still around, which was lovely. Also found countless gunnels and sculpin again, two zebra lebbeid shrimp, and numerous nudibranchs on the sugar kelp. Nice dive!

No Internet For 4 Hours And Now This


Well, I'm back online after a 4 hour blackout due to the heat in Brooklyn.

I found out that my ISP Optimum had issues with their equipment in Brooklyn due to the heat and humidity set on by this week's weather.

Now I'm worried that things will be really harsh on my equipment in the living room.

Any suggestions on how to keep the modem/router from overheating and causing problems?



I went to the Dunes to see if it is cooler by the lake. It was hot, but there was a nice breeze. I found a spot with some shade trees that was perfect for relaxing.

The water always clears away stress.

3D Print Glass, Using Accessible Techniques


When seeing a story from MIT’s Lincoln Labs that promises 3D printing glass, our first reaction was that it might use some rare or novel chemicals, and certainly a super-high-tech printer. Perhaps it was some form of high-temperature laser sintering, unlikely to be within the reach of mere mortals. How wrong we were, because these boffins have developed a way to 3D print a glass-like material using easy-to-source materials and commonly available equipment.

The print medium is sodium silicate solution, commonly known as waterglass, mixed with silica and other inorganic nanoparticles. It’s referred to as an ink, and it appears to be printed using a technique very similar to the FDM printers we all know. The real magic comes in the curing process, though, because instead of being fired in a special furnace, these models are heated to 200 Celsius in an oil bath. They can then be solvent cleaned and are ready for use. The result may not be the fine crystal glass you may be expecting, but we can certainly see plenty of uses for it should it be turned into a commercial product. Certainly more convenient than sintering with a laser cutter.

Krieg zwischen Israel und dem Iran: Warnungen und neue Angriffe

Angesichts des Krieges in Nahost ist der UN-Sicherheitsrat erneut zu einer Sitzung zusammengekommen. Unterdessen gingen die Angriffe Israels und des Irans weiter - während Premier Netanjahu seine Ziele fast erreicht sieht.

Ein militärischer Erstschlag ohne Beweise ist völkerrechtswidrig. Wer ihn nicht klar benennt, stellt das Gewaltverbot der UN-Charta (Art. 2 Abs. 4) zur Disposition.

Guterres erfüllt das diplomatische Mindestmaß – doch das genügt nicht. Wenn die UN glaubwürdig bleiben will, muss sie Aggressoren benennen und das Völkerrecht für alle gleichermaßen verteidigen – auch wenn es unbequem ist. #un #guterres #iran #israel #usa

@JugglingWithEggs FFS, Robert, add some damn alt text to your images. You’ve been here ages and it’s not the first time you’re hearing this. It’s not progressive to ignore the needs of disabled people.

“A nation that continues year after
year to spend more money on military
defense than on programs of social
uplift is approaching spiritual death.
America, the richest and most
powerful nation in the world, can
well lead the way in this revolution
of values. There is nothing, except
a tragic death wish, to prevent us
from reordering our priorities, so
that the pursuit of peace will take
precedence over the pursuit of war.

– Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.”

@aral @JugglingWithEggs

If the Toots is all Text what is the reason for adding Alt Text to the Toot, I just do not understand why if they cannot read the all Text they would be able to read the Alt Text?

Explain that to me please.

in reply to Merry Christmas

To someone who uses a screen reader (e.g., someone with low vision or someone who is blind, etc.), an image with text in it looks like this:

[image]Alt text that describes the image and includes and text in it is read out by the screen reader so the person can experience it like you can using your eyes. So, instead of the above, which contains no information about the image, with alt text the image looks like this:

Moreover, some people are not fluent in English or in any other language the text in your image is (I'm French). It's easy to copy paste an alt text to get a translation, it's not to transcribe everything yourself.

@aral @JugglingWithEggs One of the differences between masto and Twitter I like is that "over here" that kind of thing is taken more seriously.

Mahmoud Khalil Discusses 3-Month Detention in First Interview Since Release


cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/32115867

June 22, 2025 Updated 8:10 p.m. ET

The administration argued that he had contributed to the spread of antisemitism through his role in the protests at the university.

But Mr. Khalil, a Palestinian born in a Syrian refugee camp, rejected the idea that protesting against Israel is inherently antisemitic.

“I was not doing anything antisemitic,” he said. “I was literally advocating for the right of my people. I was literally advocating for an end of a genocide. I was advocating that the tuition fees that I and other students pay don’t go toward investing in weapons manufacturers. What’s antisemitic about this?”

It's likely this won the award out of a fatuous anti-woke "oh it's so brave and counter-cultural," which is a very stupid reason to give an award, but par for the course for the "anti-woke is our entire personality" crew.

The image features a tall, multi-story building with a brick facade, prominently displaying the name "THE DALTON" on a vertical banner. The building has a mix of red and beige bricks, with large windows and some balconies visible. The architecture includes decorative elements such as cornices and a green roof with dormer windows. To the right, a white water tower is visible against a clear blue sky. In the foreground, there is a smaller building with a white facade and a lamp post. The scene is well-lit, suggesting a sunny day.
